NEBRASKA Part 68

Another type of restraining order that can be entered in a divorce case involves property, called non-hypothecation orders The Judge can enter an order restraining one or both parties from selling, giving away, or disposing of marital assets. If you are worried that your spouse is going to spend or give away much of your marital property before a judge can divide it, you should consider asking for this type of restraining order. Likewise, you cannot dispose of joint assets. If you and your spouse bought a car while you were married, you cannot sell the car without permission from the court or your spouse’s agreement.

Other types of restraining orders can exclude the other spouse from the home, or prevent them from having contact with the children. There are many rules that have to be followed in requesting these types of orders so you should discuss those procedures with your lawyer.
